"Wednesday wih be ihe grandest event the
old soldiers of the vicinity ever experienced.
All the news in regard to it will be fonnd
in the local columns of to-day's paDer. The
arrangements are most complete, and no
pains will be spared to have every one who
attends experience an enjoyable day.
Friends of the old soldiers are cordially in
vited to unite with teem and have a good
time.
No Hatred Ex U Tberr.
The rising generation of to-day often won
ders to what extent the hatred that existed
between the Ivorth and South during trie
rebellion ttill remains. It is a matter of
conjecture as to which feeling prevails more
strongly, that of bitter hatred or that of lov
ing forgiveness. Every once in a while the
bitterness of some man's heart breaks out,
and things tnat were better forgot are
brought to mind. These instances are
chronicled over tlic country, and tben it is that
the rising generation is tempted to doubt that
the people arc at heart really united. Bat an
instance showing the better feeling ot the two
Is here to be told:
A short time ago an appeal for contributions
Jor the '"Old North State Soldiers' Home" of
North Carolina was made to the Posts ot the
Grand Army. The proposed home is to be
built in some quiet soot in the State where tho
old Confederate soldiers of North Carolina who
have neither family nor friends to care for
them ma go for shelter and food. Among
thoe who responded was Post 131, of this city,
vhichsent a J3 subscription. In acknowledg
ing tho contribution John T Patrick, of
Raleigh, trustee for the Home, wrote to Adju
tant D. A. Jones, of Post 151, as follows-
"You have the heartfelt thanks of the 'old
Confcds.' for jour kiud donation. I not only
expected j our aid but knew it would be given
in the spirit which nas characterized all those
brave aud true men from General Grant down
to the humble-t private in the fichting ranks
of the Union armj-. borne have tried to keep
tho war fires burning; but not those who
laced the front during the deadlv strug
gle. The gift that you send
is almost as sacred as tho manna from heaven
and the noble spirit that caused juuto con
tribute is unexcelled in anv nation. May God
iu his mercy and goodness return to the con
triLntors a thousand blessings for every penny
contributed. When the opening of the "Old
North btato Soldiers' Home is arranged you
will be invited to send down a delegation and
lbopc you will cive the bos who wore the
graj the tileasuie of meeting you, and this
time with the white-winged dove of love and
peace hovering over ou amid the gentle
breezca of our beautiful Southland."

CHATS ABOUT TRADE.
Street Cars and Inclines Wanted to
Help Ont Southside Wards.
THE TREND OP SPECULATION.
Confidence tne Basis of Activity in Beal
xtate Here and Hereabouts.
A BIS TEAKS ACTION AT- HOMESTEAD
A great blessing would be conferred on
the Thirty-second and Thirty-fifth wards if
the street cars and Inclines were kept run
ning all night These wards are in close
proximity to the center of the city closer
than any of the other suburban wards but
their development has been retarded by
slow communication and expense of travel.
Street car and bridge companies would be
greatly benefited by making low fares and
incieasing their accommodations. This
would Increase their patronage. The com
panies, might lose money at first but they
would more than make it up in the end.
There is no good reason why the Thirty-second
and Tblrty-ttrtli wards should not be built
up compactly within the next few years if the
inducements of rapid transit by day and night
and low fares were held out As it is, tney are
improving rapidly, as cheap property is attract
ing many home-seekers. These warns are only
20 to 25 minutes from the business and manu
facturing centers of both cities.
"
Landmarks Disappearing
Improvements in and around Pittsburg are
being made so rapidly that the antiquarian will
have to bestir himself or he will soon have
nothing to explore. Landmarks are vanishing.
Reconstruction is the order ot the day. This is
not vandalism. It is necessary to keep the city In
line with the demands of the times and to de
velop her resources.
Changes and Innovations are numerous In the
eastern suburbs, where street improvements
are in full swing. Some of these entail con
siderable discomfort and annoyance. At Roup
a number of handsome places have been marred
by an embankment 15 or 20 feet high. Here
after Mr. Zug will have to mount a ladder
whenever he wants to look beyond his lawn in
tbe direction of East Liberty. Many other
elegant grounds are disfigured by piles of
rubbish, fills or cuts. Trees and shrubbery
have been slaughtered by wholesale.
Pittsburg is growing and street and other im
provements must go on. Owners and builders
should look ahead so as to avoid having their
plans upset and their places laid waste by the
unsentimental contractor.

A Bis Deal nt Homestead.
During the week a transaction in real estate
of considerable magnitude was consummated
at Homestead. It was the sale of the Flummer
estate, the only large piece of vacant land in
the borough, lying between Third avenue and
the river, and including the old Dickson man
sion and the Kenney brickyard property in the
Second ward. John F. Cox, Esq , and Thomas
F. Cain were tbe purchasers, and the consider
ation was $75,000.
Each trace contains 11 acres, making 22 in all,
with a number of buildings. Tbe property
will be surveyed at once, tben sub divided and
put on tbe market This deal and Its outcome
will no doubt give a strong impetus to improve
ment of all kinds in Homestead, already pros
perous and growing.
Confidence nt the Bottom.
One of tho best features ot the real estate
market is the caution exercised by buyers.
They want to know all about tbe property,
whether it be a cheap lot or a business block
before shelling out their cash. They are not
willing to accept agents' or owners' word "that
it is all right" but insist on seeing for them
selves. It takes considerable time to make a
sale, as everything must be made clear. Agents
earn their commissions.
This is in gratifying contrast with the booming
times along In the seventies, when hundreds of
lots were purchased without examination and
in many cases with no distinct conception of
their location and surroundings. They were
wanted for speculation, and it made little dif
ference to the buyers what they were or where
they were. Now theyl are wanted for improve
ment and must possess intrinsic merit "A pig
in a poke," reduced to realty, is a hard thing to
sell.
This caution on the part ot buyers Is tbe basis
of the confidence so generally felt and ex
pressed in the continued activity in real estate
and in the permanency of values, and so long
as it exists there can be no reaction. This is so
well recognized that the most conservative
business men in the city are unhesitatingly
putting large amounts of money into lands and
bouses, whereas, if there were danger ahead,
they would be tbe first to take ahum and stay
oat

STOCKS -HELD DOWN.
General Apathy on Deck, bat Holders Hard
to Freeze Ont.
Sixty-one bids, 32 offers, and a sale of ten
shares ot Switch and Signal at 16. Is the
record of yesterday's stock calk Sales during
the week were less than 1,000 shares.
Figures were not far apart in most cases,
but there was no disposition to take hold. The
dullness cannot be wholly, or even largely, at
tributed to the monitary stringency, for it ex
isted before, but it has intensified the apathy
of investors, who would rather sell what they
have than buy more. That values show a
strong front under such adverse circumstances
Is greatly to the credit of Pittsburg securities.

Eastern Financiers Think tbe Worst of tbe
Flurry I Oven
Money in this market was rather stringent
during the week, with an easier feeling at the
close, but at no time were regular customers,
discommoned or refused all the accommoda
tions they required. The lines were tightened
as a precaution against the unexpected, and
not because of any particular scarcity of funds.
Bates were steady all week at 67 per cent
as the extremes.
The Clearing House report was rosy as usual,
showing an active trade movement The
week's exchanges were nearly $1,000,000 better
than those of the previous week, and 53,600.000
In round numbers greater than for tbe corre
sponding time last year. If croakers can draw
consolation from these figures they are wel
come to it.

The drift of opinion in Wall street yesterday
was that the worst of the financial pinch was
over. There was some disappointment that
the reports generally credited on the street of
an official announcement from Hecretary Wln
dom offering to take 20,000,000 4s, had cot been
made public, but conservative people were in
clined to think that within the next 24 hours
something would be done to restore confidence.
It was understood that Senator Sherman ad
vocated an extension of time for tbe with
drawal of goods under tho McEInley act.
This, it Is thought, would materially help the
merchants who are experiencing tbe effect of
the money stringency more than any other
cbtss. Ihe room traders were divided in opin
ion as to the immediate future of speculation.
But the better Judgment was that prices had
suffered a sufficient decline to Induce to pur
chases at current figures.
Mr. Henry Clews said: "I do not see any
thing to cause uneasinessj Tbe general busi
ness of the country is good. The leading rail
road properties are being economically man
aged, and the earnings are satisfactory to In
vestors." Chauncey M. Depew said the present
stringency would not last long.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy at 4 per cent for call loans, closing offered
at 4. Prime mercantile paper, 79. Sterling
exchange quiet and barely steady at $4 81 for
60-day bills and 84 84 for demand.
The weekly Statement of the New York
banks, Issued yesterday, shows the following
changes: Reserve, decrease, $1,901,800: loans,
decrease, $1,818,100; specie, decrease. $2,374,400;
legal tenders, decrease. $818,500: deposits, de
crease, $5,143,400; circulation, inci ease, $9,400.
The banks now hold $3,306,920 less than the re
quirements of the 25 per cent rule.

NEW YQBK STOCKS.
AInrket tVcnk and Declining Bonn Go
Into Cover When tho Secretary of the
Treasury Arrives ou the Scene
Apprebentlona on the trect-
Nkw Yoeic, September la The stock mar
ket to-day was again weak and declining, with
further liquidation of small long accounts, but
freer short selling. The general expectation
that there was 10 be a further increase in the
deficit shown by the banks from the require
ments of tho 25 per cent rule gave the bearish
traders an opportunity to continue their ham
mering operations, especially as London was
found to do a seller of its specialties at the
opening. First prices were generally but
slightly changed from those of last evening,
but the pressuro was brought to bear first upon
North American, which has since its appear
ance ou the list been a drawing bear card, and
it retired rapidly from 43 to 41, and afterward
to 40J4 Chicago Gas followed with a drop from
45 to 42 and then tho Grangers and Sugar
Refineries viclded from 1 per cent to 1.
At about 11 o'clock it became known that the
Secretary of the Treasury was in town, and
would hold a conference with some of the lead
ing bankers with a view to coming to some
final solution ot the problem of bow to relievo
tbe monetary stringency, and the bears went
into cover on the intclligencu, with tbe result
of rallying Chicago Gasi and the rest nf tbe
list generally small fractions. The trading in
the last half hour presented no new teatuies,
and the market finally closed quiet and barely
steady, generally at small fractious better than
the lowest prices of the day.
The final changes are almost invariably frac
tional losses, ana North American is down 2
per cent, Chicago Gas 1 and Northern Pacific
preferred 1.
Railroad Donds were dull, the sales nf nil
issues reaching only $308,000, and the dealings'
were Darren 01 leaiures 01 any Kind, and the
movements Insignificant in every case. State
bonds have been dull and rather heavy. Rail
road bonds have been dnll and heavy.
The exports of specie from the port of New
York during tho past week amounted to $1.144,.
325, of which $37,727 was in gold and $1,106,598
silver. Ihe imports of specie dorinir the week
amounted toi$439,815, ot which $4,794 was in
gold and $435,021 silver.
Tbe Post says: "As to the causes of the weak
ness in the stock market there Is but tbe one
most important explanation, viz.: that it is ap
prehension of what may be rather than any
realization of anything that is. Money would
be tight anyhow, even If the new tariff were
not to go into effect, because thero has been
an unusual demand for money all over the
country for earlier moVing of crops and for the
prosecution of larger Industrial enterprises
than ujual, and especially also for tbe specula
tion in grain, which ever since tbe bad news
about the crops, has been absorblngi specula
tive capital especially m the West But the
immediate thing which In this situation has
the most effect to unsettle confidence and
makes all the money lenders refuse to lend ex
cept they have nnusual inducements, is the
apprehension that thero is going to be a crisis
in connection with the withdrawal of goods
from United States bonded warehouses in
order to escape tbe advance in the tariff. It
docs not make much difference that the amount
which the importers would have to pay It they
withdraw their goods by November I is exag
gerated. It probably is exaggerated, but by
one meansjorjanother the people have got it
fixed in their minds that unless longer time is
given for goods to remain in bond there will be
a crisis."

Not Sustained.
CHICAGO Wheat Trading was fairly ac
tive to-day and prices Irregular, ruling higher
at the opening, but immediately declined, and
closed JKlKe lower than yesterday. An nnn
sually nervous and feverish feeling existed dur
ing the earlier part of the iseasoD, occasioned by
the bad weather in the Northwest; also in sym
pathy with tho advance In corn and to the
failure of an operator who bad been largely
short of wheat at lower prices. The opening
waslc higher than yesterday's closing.
Some slop loss orders were executed, as the re
ported failure alluded to led- some to believe
that prices would be advanced thereby under
a pressure to cover. But tbe offerings became
very heavy, and then it also became known
that the party in question, as well as others,
had covered most of their short wheat yester
day. This left the market without any sup
port, and under large offerings a rapid decline
followed. Prices recedingabout 2c, recovered
slightly, eased off again, and closed about 1
lc lower.
Corn Tbe sensational weather news was the
all-absorbing topic this morning before tbe
opening, and on the tap of the bell a scene of
the wildest confusion occurred. The opening
was the most excited and irregular for years,
prices varying 3c in different parts of tbe pit.
The cause of tho nervous feeling was due to
reports of frosts throughout tbe entire corn
belt as far south as Kansas and Missouri.
Tbe failure of a local bouse tended to create a
very .uncertain feeling in tbe minds of many
operators, and the opening was a scene of semi
panic. Tbe trade was all in May, other months
being neglected, and first trades were from
5356c, very few at tbe extreme, only
scattering trades being reported. The bnlk of
business being between 5454c. After tbe
wild opening the market immediately sold off,
there being immense quantities of long prop
erty for silo, a good deal nf which was unsold
at the limits given, so rapid was the decline.
Tbe market finally closed with a gain of c
for near months, and lc for May.
Oats were fairly aeuvo and unsettled, with
prices confined to a moderate range. The
opening was firmer and higher in sympath
with corn, first sales being Jfic advance.
May receded c but the other deliveries held
steadily. Final sales were at a slight gain over
yesterday.
Mess pork Considerable interest wass mani
fested In tbe market. Opening sales were made
and 2530c advance dn tbe deferred deliveries,
but prices gradually receded 3740c. The
market closed tame at inside figures.
Lara A moderate trade was reported. Open
ing sales were made at 5c advance. Later
prices receded 7K10c, aud closed rather tame

Tbe additional rise predicted on ;tbe previ
ous day came yesterday, and the great volnme
of water swelled the rivers to a height never
before reached in the month of September.
Reports from tbe headwaters show tbe storm
to have ceased In some sections, but at other
polntB the rain still pours down. It is thought
that by to-day the rain will stop falling, and
colder weather will follow in all sections in
which the rain fell so heavily. Most of the
water came from the headwaters of the
Allegheny yesterday, the Monongahela being
mostly back water. The rain at Morgantown
and other points bas not affected it very much
so far, but rlvermen expect a bigb stage from
above to-day. At Industry, on the Ohio, 28
feet was reported yesterday afternoon, and the
water is doing great damage In that section.
The rise was unexpected, and no preparations
were made for so much water. It was gener
ally known that a rise was coming, but it was
not counted upon being so hearv, and as a
result much valuable lumber lying on the
banks was swept away. During the day up
sawed logs and portions of rafts came down
the Allegheny and struck the bridge piers,
shattering the hnge logs in splinters.
Boats on tbe Monongabela were enabled 1 0
take large tows of empties to the upper pools
on account of the high stage covering the dam,
which allowed them to pass Into the upper
waters without going through the locks. A
riverman said yesterday: "Any just body
of men in any corporation nould not
exact tollage from boats when the water
permits them to cross tbe dam, but tbe Slack
water Company do not look at the question in
this light. We arc compelled to pay tolls,
whether wo ran our boats throngb tho Incks or
over the dam, lt,niakes no difference. This is
a striking example how this corporation wrings
the money from us, and I think that it is very
unjust and should be abolished, considering
the tribute we have to pay 1 to this monopoly
during the low water season for going through
their look. They are not content with that
large revenue, but make us pay for running
our boats tbrougb tbe open passage. The com
pany pays a dividend larger than tbe Govern
ment allows, and in all fairness no tolls should
be charged when boats can navigate tbe stream
without tbe aid of their locks." .
Preparations were being made yesterday to
send out coal to-day. if the water recedes
enough. When the shipments of this present
rise are made tbe total will fall little short of
4000,000 bushels.

TALKING TO TEACHERS.
ADDRESS BY EX-SUPERINTENDENT
NEWELL, OF MARYLAND.
AN
Over Three Hundred Instruct am of tbe
Pitlabore Schools Littered ti Him New
Ofllcc.'s of lbs Inst'taic Uoinga in the
Schoolrooms.
Dr. 21. A. Newell, ex-Superintendent of
the public schools of Maryland, in an ad
dress full of witty anecdote and philosophic
points, entertained an audience of over 300
teachers at the first regular meeting of the
Teachers' Institute at the Ralston school
yesterday morning. His snbject was "Tbe
Essential Qualifications of a Teacher." Dr.
Newell said that he had asked Superintend
ent Luckey what subject he would talk to
the teachers about, .bat Mr. Luckey told
him he could not tell anything new to tbe
Pittsburg teachers, for they had heard
everybody from Colonel Parker upward.
This sally at the great apostle of the new
education created much laughter.
The most important qualification the doc
tor impressed on his bearers is that of good
health. But in the most flattering manner
possible he added: "I see every evidence
of this merit in the Pittsburg teachers now
before me, with their fine physical forms,
bright eyes and rosy cheeks." As he used
the last "pleasing adjective, a pretty school
ma'am said, sotto voce: "Now he is mak
ing fun of us."
"Some people think," he continued, "that
teaching is the easiest and best paying posi
tion one can hive, but there is none so try
ing to the nerves, so exasperating to the in
tellectual, and so wearying to tbe physical
constitution as that pf teaching. Were
teachers trebly paid it would not pay forthe
general wear to the system they endure.
Teachers must have nerves, brain and body
that nothing can tire or break down."
Good temper was the second requisite
commented upon, and the speaker said that
one cannot keep a good school unless the
temper is under control, and one can have his
temper under control it he no wills it Right
knowledge of things to be taught and a
thorough knowledge of the persons one is to
teach were thenext points dwelt on. As re
gards the latter qualification be said the
same sun that softened wax hardened clay,
so the teacher shonld study the individual
ity of tbe pupils and govern them accord
ingly. Lastly, there should be sympathy
between pupil and teacher, and the latter
should always have esprit de corps for his
profession.
Tne election of the officers olt he Teachers'
Institute resulted in the following choice:
President, Superintendent Luckey, ex
officio; Vice Presidents, S. A. Andrews
and H. W. Fisher; Recording Secretary,
Hiss M. E. Graham; Treasurer, Hiss K.
Heiper; Executive Committee, "W. A.

retary showed that $413 90 remained in the
treasury. Among the observing and the
observed at the institute were four Sisters of
Mercy. They had expected that there
would be a class drill, and had come to wit
ness it
News oftbc Sclioolt.
Superintendent Ltckey has decided to
have, at stated intervals, a number of class
drills, which will embrace each step of the
school curriculum.
The pupils of the Lawrence, Liberty, Lin
coln, Mt. Albion. Sobo, Bellfiela and Washing
ing schools will be supplied with tickets to visit
tbe Exposition the coming week.
The principals nd assistant principals of
the Ward school will meet next Saturday af
ternoon at tbe Central Board rooms to consider
the grade in drawing for the coming year.
THE meeting of the Music Committee yes
terday resulted in tbe decision to ask the Cen
tral Board the privilege of changing the
present locality of the music supervisors. Till
tben eacb one will continue in the same dis
trict Dr. Scott, the venerable father-In law of
President Harrison, was a few days ago a
visitor at the Colfax school. Mr. Scott visited
tbe various rooms and delivered to the de
lighted children his first speech that his father
taught film when he was 4 years old. Later
Principal McKee drove him through Schenley
Park. Dr.Scott was visiting his niece,Mrs.J. C.
Laucblin. an ex-teacher of tbe Peeblesschools.
He will not visit Cresson nntil the last of tbe
month.
The outlook for tho Public Cooking School
never bad such a roseate hue. Tho first week
closes with every class f nil. 75 pupils in all,
which heretofore never was the case so early in
tho term. Forty-five pupils who desired to
enter could not be adcommodated. This is
especially encouraging, as at one time it was a
little difficult matter to collect tha alloted
number. Miss Ballou's personal visitation
among the teachers is creating enthusiasm in
both teachers and pupils. In the near future
tho present cooking school quarters will have
to be increased.
At a meeting of the Supervisors of tbe
Teachers' Academy held yesterday afternoon
it was proposed to change the constitution of
this body in regard to the admission of mem
bers. The last meeting of the year will occur
In May instead of Jnne. Tbe first regular
meeting will be held next Saturday. A dis
cussion on "Technical Grammar" will be
handled by Profs- Logan and Fisher. Singing
by tbe pupils 01 tne misses i-ouey. 01 tne four
teenth ward schools, will be another feature of
te meeting. Tbe election of officers also
occurs. It is proposed to have a series of lec
tures at eacb session of the Academy during
the coming year. Next Saturday tbe tax of
60 cents on eacb member for the defrayment of
tbe expenses of tbe ye will be collected.

THE GRAHAM CASE.
The recent election at Ewing's Hills, one
of the suburbs of Pittsburg, was interesting
las developing the popularity of one of tha
candidates, Mr. John 31. Graham. Ont of
all the votes cast for the office of Justice of
the Peace Mr. Graham received the entire
number with five exceptions. Mr. Graham's
good fortune extends to other fields than
political ones. The news has recently been
received that he has struck an oil well on bis
premises that run 75 barrels a day. This will
net him at least ?18 a day.
Mr. John M. Graham, Ewing's Millx, Alle
gheny county. Pa.
But still another piece of good fortune bas
befallen Mr. Graham, upon which be is to be
consrratulated. How this came about is best
shown by bis own statement. He says: "I
bad suffered for a good while from catarrhal
trouble. It began in my bead. My nostrils
would close up. first one side and tben the
otberr There would be frequent pains in my
head.
There would be ringing and buzzing noises
in my ears. I feared that my hearing was be
coming impaired. My throat would fill up with
mucus, I could feel tbe phlegm dropping back
from my bead. Sometimes my throat would
feel sore and Inflamed.
"After awbilo I began to have sham, stab
bing pains in mv chest. Mv heart wonld beat
bard and fast. This would be followed by slow,
irregular beating and a sensation of falntness.
"My appetite became affected. There would
be a feeling of discomfort at my stomach after
eating, and sometimes a nausea and vomiting.
My sleep was broken, and I would get np in
the morning tired and uurefreshed. Indeed,
my entire system was broken down from the
ellects of tbe disease.
"I began treatment with Drs. Copeland and
Blair and improved from the start The
symptoms ot tbe catarrh gradually disap
peared, and I feci strong and well now. I will
cheerfully corroborate this statement to any
one who will call npon me."
HOME TREATMENT.
Mr3. Robert Kamsey, of Washington, Pa
speakinc of her snecessf nl treatment with Drs.
Copeland & Blair, says: Every fall for the past
five years I have been troubled with cbronio
dyspepsia. Have tried countless remedies and
various physicians without any relief. I could
not get ease from pain in any position 1 would
assume. Every breath I drew was like a kmfo
cutting me. I became weak and pale, losing
greatly in weight
I began treatment by mall with Drs. Cope
land it Blair. All these symptoms have disap
peared, and I now feel as well as I ever Old.
